Journal 12

If I were to make up my own reals for right and wrong, I have no idea what they would be. I am bad with decision making and being the boss. I like to be a follower. If I had to make up my own rules, I would probably ask people what would work best for them. I would possibly make a poll with choices and choose what other people want and what would benefit them.

I would think long and hard before making such an important decision. Something I would consider would be the speed that you drive in your car. I think that some of the speed limits are ridiculously slow. If someone wants to drive fast in an area where there are no pedestrians, they should be allowed to drive fast. Another thing I would really try and hammer down on is cops violating their privileges. Every time I see a police car go by me, they are always speeding. If they can give us a ticket for speeding, then they should not speed themselves. It is really not fair and really makes me upset. I think other people would agree with this rule as well.

Another rule that I would consider would be an ethical issue. When I go and walk in the park, no one even acknowledges each other. They just walk past without even making eye contact and smiling. When I was down in Texas, everyone greeted each other- even if it was a just a smile. I tried to do the same here by greeting people as they walk by in the park, but people seem so surprised by the random act of kindness that they just look at you in shock. It is pretty sad when people cannot even recognize kindness as a every day thing. I think being nice to people should definitely be a right that everyone should do their best to abide by. Being rude is definitely a wrong.
